WhatsApp online status
When you open a chat, if the privacy settings allow it, you may see the word “online” beneath the contact’s name. WhatsApp does not send a standard real‑time notification for this information.
Users can tie their online visibility to their last‑seen preferences, so the online indicator may not appear the same way for every contact.
How is a SeenRadar notification different?
SeenRadar generates its own in‑app alert based on the status changes it can record. It is not a notification sent by WhatsApp or verified by WhatsApp.
An alert indicates only a recorded status change. It does not show whether the monitored person sent or read a message, or who they communicated with.
If you're not receiving notifications
- For browser alerts, grant notification permission in a supported browser and keep the SeenRadar tab open and connected.
- Check the contact’s online or offline switch. Online and offline alerts are included in the 24-hour trial and in Premium, on the web and in Telegram.
- Verify that your network connection is working.
- Consider that the person's status visibility may have changed.
